The Story in 60 Seconds

The New York Giants have lost second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart for the remainder of the season due to a severe knee injury requiring surgery on his MCL and meniscus. Veteran quarterback Jameis Winston is expected to take over as the starter for the 1-1 Giants under head coach John Harbaugh.

General manager Joe Schoen is urged to make roster additions around Winston rather than abandoning the current campaign. Among the proposed moves is exploring a trade with the Tennessee Titans for running back Tyjae Spears to add pass-catching versatility to the backfield.
